Question

From my first day, I was attending press conferences and other media events all over town. I got to attend events at places I had never thought I’d get to: the White House, the Senate and House of Representative buildings at the Capitol (國(guó)會(huì)大廈), the Department of Health and Human Services, just to name a few. And I was sent to cover these events as if I were a reporter, not just an intern (實(shí)習(xí)生) .

 In fact, I never really felt like an intern. I was given the opportunity to do the work that everyone else at the paper was doing. I covered stories on my own and wrote the articles myself. I was included in discussions for story ideas. I helped to edit the articles that went into the paper. I was able to take part in every aspect of the newspaper that I wanted to experience.

 The best part of working at the Nation’s Health was the staff. They were supportive in letting me go out and do things on my own, while I always knew that they would be more than happy to answer any questions or help me with any problems I might have. Best of all, they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn’t want to do.

After interning at the Nation’s Health for nearly seven months and having more than 30 articles published, I had to move on. My experience there gave me insight into how the media work, which helps me when I’m trying to choose stories. In addition, it showed me that work really can be fun.

試題分析：在本文中作者講述了自己作為實(shí)習(xí)生的采訪經(jīng)歷以及這段工作給他帶來(lái)的影響和感受。盡管是實(shí)習(xí)生，但是作者曾被派往白宮，國(guó)會(huì)大廈執(zhí)行采訪任務(wù)，而且在工作中獨(dú)立完成采訪和寫作任務(wù)，尤其是在國(guó)家衛(wèi)生部工作期間，他所受到的支持和幫助讓他銘記在心，而且一直激勵(lì)著他前行。

1.C主旨大意題。在文中作者講述了自己的實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷以及所受到的幫助和支持，文中最后總結(jié)了自己的這段實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷給他帶來(lái)的影響和感悟，由此可知文章主要講述的是自己的實(shí)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。故C選項(xiàng)正確。

2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第四段中的The best part of working at the Nation’s Health was the staff.。。。. Best of all, they treated me as their equal,可知那些員工平等地對(duì)待作者。故A選項(xiàng)正確。

3.B推理判斷題。從文中第三段中they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn’t want to do.可以推斷得知作者原以為實(shí)習(xí)生只會(huì)去做別人不愿意做的事情，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

4.A推理判斷題。A 有意義的；B令人失望的；C 累人的；D使人驚訝的。從文章末段作者的感悟可知作者認(rèn)為這段經(jīng)歷會(huì)促使他進(jìn)步，而且也感到了這份工作中的樂(lè)趣，所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
